British guest on MSNBC Live has sparked outrage after saying 'many people' consider Meghan Markle to be 'five clicks up from trailer trash'.
The show's anchor, Lindsey Reiser, ended the interview about Prince Harry and Meghan stepping back from royal duties immediately following the remark from British reporter Victoria Mather.
The comment from the journalist - who has worked for The Telegraph and Vanity Fair - came as she was discussing how the Duchess of Sussex has been 'disrespectful' to the royal family and its protocol.
'I think what has really, really upset the British public is that Meghan Markle, who many people consider as only, you know, five clicks up from trailer trash, has actually tried to disrespect the queen,' she said.
'And the queen is the most respected person, most respected woman, in the world.'
In the five-minute interview that preceded the shocking comment Mather said that 'Hollywood celebrity' Meghan didn't want to stay in the royal family because she would be 'second-best' to her sister-in-law Kate Middleton.
She said: 'I don't think Meghan Markle wanted to spend the rest of her life looking at Kate Middleton's back as she sat in the second row to the future queen. I don't think she wanted — she didn't want to be second best.
The duke and duchess returned to the UK this week to complete their final official royal duties after moving to Canada.

Definitely.
I completely agree! Truly decent people!
Click is military slang for a kilometer. This sounds like something from British slang, but not sure what it means.
IDK
I read an article about Diana last week. I think she went into the situation knowing she was being married to produce heirs and that Charles loved someone else. She just didn’t realize the numerous snubs and discontent that would bring her. She appears to have been very superficial & self centered. I think there were no winners in this deck. I do believe her sons adored her.
That was an insult....she isn’t that many clicks removed from trailer trash....narc narc narc pants on fire...lolol
thank you! she was a true nutbar,( I am sure her youth had something to do with it) and Charles is better off with his true love, Camilla.
what an awful lot of time was wasted.
Good point. I think Harry’s still working out his place in her wake. I can understand his vulnerability around this and how Meghan got her manipulative claws in him. Grifters are so great at being chameleons. William however is not caught up in her manipulative charms. Must be hard for him to watch.
Lol
I loved Diana
That saying, omfg, is utterly hilarious!
That's their "precious" queen.
And, the journalist is also wrong about markle. Markle is not "five clicks up from trailer trash." Markle is trailer trash. With whom was markle friends? The likes of Weinstein, no doubt. Because she certainly has no talent. And she's not pretty. What else is there?
Well, duh....we said it before she got married...and I’ll add a bit....she’ll make a deal...dump the kid and be on her way...with her pockets full of cash....forever.
Probably right. Big settlement and keeps the kid so Harry gets to keep on giving.
Closer to 3 clicks up from trailer trash.
She doesn’t want to bow to Kate. That’s one reason she tried to start up that rumor about Wills having an affair. Jealousy does not look pretty on her.
Yes. That stood out to me too (both points.). I think right now he may think he’s having another ‘freeing’ experience. Unfortunately this one will only leave him in a new type of chains—one with a lot less statue, class, self respect, and feeling of truly contributing. The whole RF is going to continue to pay a high price on this one sadly.
“Maybe they have classier trailer parks there.”
Nah, in Britain they have gypsies just taking over any old bit of vacant land and turning it into a “trailer park” without any permits, or sanitation hookups.
Good Grief.
